Topic 1
The diagnosis and management of GORD – what we should be doing in 2023
presented by Dr Chamara Basnayake, Gastroenterologist
GORD is among the most common presentations to primary care, yet since the advent of PPIs we rarely re-evaluate how we approach and manage this condition. In this presentation we will focus on common issues and pitfalls in the management of GORD in primary and specialist care.
Topic 2
The “other” hepatitis: the epidemic of Fatty Liver Disease
presented by Dr Zina Valaydon, Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist
Fatty liver disease is the most common cause for abnormal liver function tests in primary care and by 2020, will be the main cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer.
